HOGREFE CONSULTING TEST ADMINISTRATION AND FEEDBACK SERVICE HOGREFE CONSULTING HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
Test administration and feedback service We partner with organisations to administer assessments and provide tailored feedback and insights. Our assessment feedback service offers organisations without the crucial resources (i. e. a qualified occupational test user) the option to use tests within an on-site assessment or development environment. The process is managed or delivered by Hogrefe consultants and ensures that clients, interview panels and the test taker get the most out of the assessment. Our test administration and assessment feedback services typically work as follows: 1. Hogrefe Consulting conducts a requirement analysis and discusses the role in detail, often using a job description, person specification and competency framework provided by the client. To ensure personal and organisational aims are met, we assess (for example) cognitive or job-relevant capabilities, personality characteristics and leadership style. 2. Hogrefe Consulting recommends appropriate psychometric assessments and tests. Reports can be customised for a specific client need based on a pilot study. 3. Hogrefe Consulting administers the assessments or tests directly or indirectly to candidates via online testing using the Hogrefe Testsystem. 4. A bespoke choice of assessment feedback options (including a combination of written reports, telephone, Skype or face-to-face delivery) is offered to the client or test taker.
“We found that the Assessment Feedback Service was at least as valuable as the tests themselves. Having an expert review the report and put it into context – using a complex understanding that we didn’t possess ourselves – made it an extraordinarily valuable part of our selection process.” Aspect Pension Consultants, Fellow of the Chartered Insurance Institute
“Using the Assessment Feedback Service and Leadership Judgement Indicator (LJI) was an excellent experience. The feedback and interpretation was excellent and perfect for its purpose around recruitment. Also easy to set up and administer. I’m a very satisfied client.” Azure Consulting

HOGREFE CONSULTING INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENTS FOR SELECTION AND DEVELOPMENT
Individual assessments for selection and development We assess, analyse and evaluate predefined requirements for a specific role, candidate or employee. Our core competence is in developing processes that help our clients effectively and efficiently assess, analyse and evaluate the predefined requirements for a specific role, candidate or employee. We offer support for internal selection, as well as recruitment and development processes, and combine suitable psychometric tools (for example, assessing cognitive abilities, personality characteristics or leadership style) with interviews and other instruments, such as case studies. We are often called upon, for instance, to support individual assessments as the last part of a selection process for the final candidates, or as part of an internal development programme for executives. For example, Hogrefe Consulting was asked to find an effective leadership assessment aligned to Deloitte’s company values: inclusion, collaboration, high performance and opportunity. Hogrefe recommended a leadership judgement assessment along with a followup coaching feedback session to develop a personal agenda for action. The Leadership Judgement Indicator (LJI) was used as a valuable contributor to the Deloitte Manager Milestone Programme.
“Working with Hogrefe was really great – they helped with everything straight away.” Deloitte
“The integration of Hogrefe online assessments as part of our selection day offers a range of benefits: an objective and valid basis for our trainee selection as well as a lower error rate, higher transparency due to the report function with presentation of results and additional information about the assessment and time savings. Hogrefe Consulting’s service is always professional and conscientious. Together, we were able to find and adapt the right assessments for our requirements.” FDM Group Germany
HOGREFE CONSULTING INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENTS SELECTION AND DEVELOPMENT HOGREFE CONSULTING FOR HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
“We often use Hogrefe questionnaires in our assessment centres for selection purposes. We appreciate the robustness of factor structure, the construct validity, and that reports are clear and versatile, for example when using the AMI (Achievement Motivation Inventory) to study the correlation among ‘motivation to success’ and ‘orientation to change’. […] I can confirm that Hogrefe is helping us through valid and reliable assessment tools, letting us improve the quality of our output.” Manpower Group

HOGREFE CONSULTING ORGANISATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES ASSESSMENT MANAGEMENT AND FEEDBACK PROCESSES
Organisational assessment and feedback processes We evaluate the climate and employee commitment in your organisation. Using our assessments, we can evaluate the climate and employee commitment within a whole organisation: for instance by analysing patterns of communication and behaviour. We can implement feedback processes for a whole organisation, a smaller team or a fulsome assessment of a leader – this by combining a self-evaluation and several observer ratings from personality inventories such as NEO PI-R or BIP™.
HOGREFE CONSULTING TEST TRAINING / TEST QUALIFICATION

Test training / test qualification We support you to apply your chosen assessments professionally within your organisation. We offer training courses for most of our assessment tools – either as a public training course or a tailor-made solution delivered in-house at the client’s site. This ensures the client is able to reliably apply the relevant assessments chosen for a selection or development process within the organisation.
“We found it necessary to complement our selection process for leadership and management positions with a psychometric assessment. After we decided on the Business-Focused Inventory of Personality (BIP™), Hogrefe Consulting made sure that we were ready and capable of using the assessment successfully within a short time frame. […] The quality of our selection decisions has significantly improved since using the BIP™. Our candidates appreciate especially the detailed feedback, which we offer after the interview.” Deutsche Bahn Regio AG

HOGREFE CONSULTING PSYCHOMETRIC HUMAN RESOURCES SERVICES MANAGEMENT
Psychometric services We tailor assessments for your specific organisational needs.
Most of our psychometric assessments come with a range of norm groups to choose from, allowing clients to benchmark the performance of their organisation. However, some companies prefer to tailor the reference group they are comparing their results with, or indeed to tailor the assessment itself for their specific organisational needs. At Hogrefe Consulting, we can support clients to ensure the psychometric tools they use really are suited to their own unique requirements, while remaining valid and reliable. This can be accomplished by aligning a psychometric measure with a client’s competency framework, or by setting up specific norm groups tailored to their particular application. After an assessment or development process has run for some time, we can design and conduct validation studies to evaluate whether the psychometric tools produce the required results.
“We have been successfully using the T-BIP™ version of the Business-Focused Inventory of Personality as part of our assessment and development centres for several years. The alignment with our competency framework ensures an ideal fit between our organisation and our applicants. Valid and reliable data is important in finding applicants who meet our core requirements – therefore ensuring the high quality of our personnel decisions.” Deutsche Telekom AG
“The support from Hogrefe was crucial for us. Without their help during the pilot, we wouldn’t have been able to choose the right combination of assessments and interpret the results correctly. We worked on establishing our own reference group, made up from the results of the assessments completed so far. This helps us to further differentiate candidates based on their NEO-PI-R results and will further decrease the dropout rate during the driver training. I am happy to have chosen Hogrefe for this project.” Nottingham City Transport Ltd
